In the US most jobs don't do pensions. So the finances really do vary by country and by contract.

FYI depending on your country and your contract, it can make a big difference whether you are fired or whether you resign. i.e. in some cases if you are fired you get a severance pay and various benefits, whereas if you resign you get nothing.
Pardon me, but is it possible to do this in Firefox?
I like the ddg search engine but dislike the "keyboard shortcuts" setting. From your advice, it looks like I can turn it off in a URL with https://duckduckgo.com/?kbj=1&kk=-1 which is a great start.
Ideally I'd like to be able to type my search query in the address bar, hit enter, and have it search with that URL (i.e. without keyboard settings) by default. You say "Replace the normal ddg “link” for your search bar with that one..." but I can't figure out how to do that in Firefox. Any tips? Thanks.

I'm a number 1 but plain black t-shirt and a button-up long-sleeved shirt that I only ever button if I have to fly somewhere.
It all makes sense now... You leave snacks out so when the Santa-maggots hatch in the darkness of their chimneys, they can crawl out and be fed. Also why lil kids must never wait and watch, lest the kids themselves be eaten.

I like watching these cheesy religious Mexican telenovelas, and they often talk about the dangers of "Click Clock" (i.e. Tik Tok).
Over my career I've applied for several faculty, research faculty, and research scientist positions, and they always asked for a presentation. I would consider it a red flag if they did not ask for a presentation. I always had 4+ interview sessions with individuals or in groups.
Earlier in my career I interviewed for programmer positions and it was just interviews and "solve this problem on the board". I always figured the more interviews the better; it gave me a chance to figure out if I myself wanted to be at the place.
Respectfully, I think it was OK for them to ask for that kind of presentation. They probably wanted to see how well you are at communicating technical ideas. It shouldn't have been that hard anyway. Just think of the hardest problems you had to solve. The structure of your talk could be: Problem, Solution, Details. First just say here's the problem and why it was important and why it was difficult. Then say: here's the solution that I applied and why it was clever, or elegant, or hard-won. Then provide all the details, including how you collaborated with people. Really, you should have several examples like that in mind every time you go into an interview, and make sure to insert them in the conversation. So the slides are just reminders to yourself about the details. Try to throw in some graphs and pictures if you can. You can put that in your portfolio or online presence or something.
Maybe you should draw the line at solving THEIR problems for free. A little bit of that is OK bc it introduces you to what their work is like, but obviously if they want you to work for them for free all day, then that's different.
oh yeah I finally had time to look it up. it was on "casual conversation" back before lemm.ee died, but you can see an archive of it here: https://lemmy.world/post/23527561 The replacement community is: !casualconversation@piefed.social

Was gonna say this. Some jobs will help pay for classes (max 1 at a time) and some will even let you take the classes "on company time." With Distance Education this is easier than ever. I took classes while working for a couple years, then was gonna take a semester off work and finish a Master's Degree. (but ended up doing a PhD instead.)
